glibc ? what's that... sigcontext is some new fangled posix thingy, if I remember right. You can probably try to port some implementation over from say, FreeBSD. it's not really surprising to find this kind of code in a sml implementation. I'm more disappointed in smlnj. This is a toy implementation. You can't really say you're an actual programming language in 2013 if you still don't support 64 bits architectures... (points at ocaml, which is still an ml, though not sml, and is probably the only widely used implementation of any ml outside of academia)
